The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I have the very rare Biotronics Control Systems Gestalt phono preamplifier. I challenge someone to find information on it. It has some sort of active variable bass control and sounds very smooth. The board traces are heavy and appear plated with... | |
How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? Likewise, my Jasmine 2.0LP MKII sounds best at 100 ohms and its 70dB gain is perfectly adequate. I prefer this setup over Blue Cinemag 1131 + MM setting. Then again, my Jasmine has some significant mods. | |
has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 Things were not rosy after purchasing mine April, 2012.I had used the unit for about 3 weeks before the right channel faded out. After much Skypeing with "Katherine" from Salience-HIFI-Audio in Shenzhen, they sent me a main board for the phono box... | |
Empire EDR9 users: Need advice Still working to get the best sound from this cartridge. More time spent spinning vinyl has left me frustrated. I slowly lowered the VTF since the upper bass was too dominant and finding the highs recessed. When I reach VTF around 1.7 the bass sta... | |
Empire EDR9 users: Need advice I purchased the EDR9-COPY which uses the OEM body with a JICO stylus (model 239-DSH) with a bonded Shibata tip. It can be assumed this replacement stylus does not have the sophisticated internal "tuned tube" to mechanically compensate for the syst... | |
Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII Can someone measure the actual voltage out from the power supply unit? I am still running into troubles and I believe the 21.8V I measure may be a contributing factor. I've had to replace the entire phono main board due to a failed MC section left... | |
Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII @Sbrownnw and others wishing to dim the bright logos - I found a much better way.Print out a rectangle of black you create with Excel, MS Paint, whatever just to get a printout of black sized 1" x 2 1/2".Open the case bottom plate, remove the face... | |
Stand out phono stages Do research the Jasmine LP20MKII. I've seen it favorably compared to the Manley Steelhead, other TOTL units. I am an owner. The company stands behind their product and have been excellent to work with when I asked for a reduction in global gain pr... | |
Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII UPDATE on the issues I describe above:The issue was not the fault of the Jasmine. It was several different tubes I was trying in my main amplifier. Cryo'd Russian tube, a few old stock GE's, Sylvania's. A very nasty streak of bad luck. The upshot ... | |
Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII Thank you Audiogabby for answering my question. I needed to know what other owners have experienced through the break in period.I am sure I will upgrade the power cord and maybe the umbilical over time.Comforting to hear owners are thrilled with t... | |
Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII While I continue to hear the unit breaking in, I think I may have found the problem. It appears to have been a few things.1. I have moved the units around a bit. Previously they were side by side and about 3/4-inch apart. I have since flipped them... |
